WHEN THE HURRICANE CAME

תקציר:
By Debra Gold – April 20, 2012 Nine-year-old Ger­tie has a very long list of rea­sons for feel­ing quite lucky to be grow­ing up in New Orleans and she wouldn’t live any­where else! She attends a won­der­ful school, the Jew­ish Acad­e­my, where she excels in Hebrew and Eng­lish, the weath­er is almost always warm enough to go out­side for recess, and she attends the esteemed Con­gre­ga­tion Beth Israel! When Hur­ri­cane Kat­ri­na hits Louisiana on August 29, 2005, Gertie’s mom hur­ried­ly packs up her chil­dren and takes them to their Aunt Charlene’s in Mem­phis to wait out the storm. As the fam­i­ly hud­dles togeth­er and watch­es the dev­as­tat­ing news on tele­vi­sion, a few days turn into weeks.
